World's Longest Post:

We spent the last week of July in sunny Corona, California. We were celebrating a triple missionary farewell. Tom and Andrea were called to Budapest Hungary, and Nathan was called to Dallas Texas Spanish speaking. Our 10 days there were unforgettable. This is the longest post of pictures. I usually break our trip up into sections but decided to just put it all in one big post. The post goes from our last day to our first day.

Our family poster for the missionaries displayed for the farewell. Each person in the family decorated a few letters for the message. Lindy was the master mind behind the project.

Hungary Family Home Evening

Building...ever building

July 4th

We spent the 4th of July with friends from our ward. We enjoyed the most delicious pot luck BBQ early on in the evening and then had popcorn and treats during the fireworks. It was one of those nights where you say to yourself we are building great memories for our family.

Trevor did miss his favorite pyro partner Carson this year.

Our family Sparkler picture (Amelia didn't want to have anything to do with the fire).

A family Celebration

We took the kids to Outback last night for a family dinner celebration. Trevor received a promotion at work. We are so proud of him. It would have been easier to have left the kids home with a sitter, but we wanted the kids to know this was a special occasion so we all went out. The kids did pretty well.

Trevor and TJ playing tic-tac-toe

Russell really liked the bread

TJ took a spill on our driveway earlier this week (hence the red cut on his head).
